As the year wraps up and it is time for the holidays, my thoughts turn towards home and family more. Nothing captures that feeling of being at home with the family during the holidays quite like the smells and flavors you remember growing up with.

Just over a year ago my wife and I adopted a rescued Bull Terrier. Within a week of our two weeks of fostering him to see if he was a fit and if we were even ready for a dog, he had become a part of the family we couldn’t let go.
